I have a family group of 7 adults, 4 of whom are not very fit (above 70yrs old). Can we have a transport vehicle just for ourselves, so that we may have flexibility to not go to certain places.

As it is a private tour car will be only for your family.

What are the costs of the flights from Amsterdam Schiphol airport?

The package does not include flight. However, you can book through Lufthansa. And the cost for 23 April - 1 May including luggage for 1 person - 550 USD.

We are interested in visiting Baku in June of 2026 and came across the tours you offer. The question I have is regarding the timing of arrival. It appears that most of the flights that we can take from Canada to Baku will arrive to Baku at 11:35 PM (23:35). So the question is: will you be able to pick us up from the airport after midnight (I assume that it will take an hour to two hours to get off the plane, collect our luggage and go through immigration)? And the second question is about the hotel check-in. Will we be able to check into our rooms that late in the night?

Yes, arrival and departure transfer - anytime is okay. About early check-in. Arrival at midnight needs additional night. Or how we can do. For the most of our tours first day is for arrival day. We can count your first arrival day as midnight. And in the morning the city tour will start.

I want the whole itinerary for 9 days from 3rd of September to 11th of September. Also I want to select the hotel for visa purposes and which has to be 4 star within range of 1 kilometre to main Baku Downtown and Nizami Street. I need to apply for urgent visa to avail the given dates.

The 4 star hotel in the entrance of Nizami street: Theatrum Hotel Baku. Address: Theatrum Hotel Baku, Mardanov Brothers street, Baku, Azerbaijan

Do you offer group tours to Azerbaijan

Unfortunately group tours not possible for multi day packages

Can I confirm this tour with 24 September 2025 start date is a guaranteed departure and I can go ahead and book?

Yes, it is guaranteed date. Looking forward to welcoming in Azerbaijan.

What should I do if I want to customize my itinerary?

We can customize the tour according to your preferences.

What are the visa requirements for this tour?

A passport with more than 6 months of validity and an e-visa are required.

What is the total price for the tour?

The total price for one person is 1450 USD.

Can you send me the names of hotels on this tour? I prefer centrally located hotels. I ask because one of the reviews said that the hotels are about 5 km from the center (e.g. the old town or the promenade in Baku).

We provide Auroom Hotel in Baku which is max 3 km far from downtown. Old Town Hotel in Sheki which is at main street of Sheki. If you prefer Promaneda Hotel in Baku the night cost will increase for 110 USD per night in Baku. At Old Town we can recommend Shah Palace Hotel as well which will increase for about 50 USD per night in Baku.

I would recommend Azerbaijan, a very interesting country. breathtaking modern architecture (although some at the expense of previous buildings), wonderful deserted countryside. So much space and so clean. It seems that most people live in the towns and villages. We were in Baku of about 5 million, Sheki 200,000 people. The coastline is barren and arid, inland lush and green (when we went in May, after a lot of very heavy and abnormal rain). The tour guide was a young local man called Farhad, very proper and correct. Good safe driver. Nicely spoken English. He concentrated on the history of his country, both ancient and recent. We realised afterwards that he didn't cover much of how it is now, which would have been interesting. The tour was called 'relaxing', which it was, no hurry, start the day at 10am which was perfect ;-) But some of our visits were too short: On the first proper day the trip around 'old town' Baku should have been longer, we could have explored more streets and visited more buildings. The visit to the Haydar Aliyev Museum was definately too short, Farhad wanted to give us only 1 hour, we agreed on 1.5 and that was not enough. The boat ride was unnecesary - a paddle boat routed around an artificial boating lake (Little Venice). On the second proper day the drive to the mud volcanoes was an unforgetably wonderful experience (bone shaking drive in old Lada cars). When we went inland to Sheki for several days there was and had been heavy rain, which prohibited us visiting various buildings, waterfalls, villages and sites of interest (Mamirli Waterfall, Sumuq Fortress, Lahic village) because the roads had been washed away. Unfortunately there was not enough planned to substitute these failed visits. We suggested the local market (to see the local culture and produce) but this wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. The hotels were excellent, in Baku the 'Grand Hotel' a lovely classic hotel with very spacious bedrooms, and a lovely dining room alongside the gardens. Friendly and helpful staff. In Sheki a very well decorated hotel called 'Old Town', very pretty. Smaller but attractive bedrooms, and a peacock in the courtyard. A pity about the rain. The food was all good, all natural and tasty food, Farhad took us to a range of restaurants, and we tried all sorts of local cuisine. Costs in Azerbaijan are lower than in Europe, in May 2024 1 manat = 0.54 euros, so very approx 10 manat was 5€. A bottle of wine 25 - 30 manat in the restaurants. A 2 course meal about 15 - 25 manat pp, fast food about 10 manat pp. A taxi ride with 'Bolt' just 3 manat across Baku - which is due to rise in July when they change car fleet from toyota prius. Musuems (extra visits) seemed to be 10 or 15 manat pp. We went as a couple, thinking that we would join up with other people, but there was no-one else, we had a car and driver just for us!Show more

  At the borders - do we have to cross over by pulling our luggage ourselves? We cannot do that. (I had such an experience when I went to central asia - the senior folks will not be able to manage) Can't we have the same vehicle throughout the tour and the guide and driver will manage the luggage for us at the borders?
- Azerbaijan GuideOperator•Written February 2026
  As the Azerbaijan ground borders closed since Covid19, it is only possible for foreigners to exit the country. So you will be able to exit and pass to Georgia. But locals - I mean, we as citizens cannot pass our ground borders. That's why we are not able to take luggage with us and pass to the Georgian side to assist you. And as it is a neutral zone, there are no porters to help. Usually, we do this process with most of our guests, and we have a lot of senior-level guests. Usually, there is no problem, and the Red Bridge border is a flat area. Another alternative is to have a flight from Baku to Tbilisi.

We are interested in visiting Baku in June of 2026 and came across the tours you offer. The question I have is regarding the timing of arrival. It appears that most of the flights that we can take from Canada to Baku will arrive to Baku at 11:35 PM (23:35). So the question is: will you be able to pick us up from the airport after midnight (I assume that it will take an hour to two hours to get off the plane, collect our luggage and go through immigration)? And the second question is about the hotel check-in. Will we be able to check into our rooms that late in the night?

Flights / Transfers
- Azerbaijan GuideOperator•Written November 2025
  Yes, arrival and departure transfer - anytime is okay. About early check-in. Arrival at midnight needs additional night. Or how we can do. For the most of our tours first day is for arrival day. We can count your first arrival day as midnight. And in the morning the city tour will start.
